Pancakes at the Manor

PROFILED BY DEGROOTS MEDIA
Pancakes at the Manor is filled to capacity all weekend with people taking advantage of the 24-hour pancake offer. Situated in a heritage-listed cathedral, this extensive restaurant sells cheap beer until midnight and even has a downstairs bar to accommodate those who have finished their feast. Long wooden tables equipped with church pews seat flapjack fiends who are served quickly and efficiently by the friendly staff. The breakfast menu is great for those suffering after a big night out, serving up toast, eggs, bacon, sausages and pancakes all on one giant plate.

The signature dish is the pancake plate known as the Nice'n'Simple stack. The fluffy buttermilk pancakes are served with whipped butter and special syrup, and customers can choose how many are piled on their plate. The aroma permeates through the restaurant as stack after stack of chocolate, banana or cherry pancakes float past accompanied with great big milkshakes or icy cold beers. The indulgent pick is definitely the black-forest cherry pancake stack, featuring two chocolate pancakes served with cherry brandy-sauced cherries, chocolate ice-cream and chocolate chips. The menu also has a range of delicious meals, including Caesar salads, rib-eye steaks, chips, wedges and nachos all available to chow down at any time of the day. Pancakes at the Manor’s flexible menu make this restaurant a scrumptious destination whether sweet-tooth or savoury-seeker.
